+Well, I think the main point of arguing about this issue is that most  
+people
+
+is mostly used to other input method and they don't care about iBus...
+
+Still 2 points to be answered especially for Mageia here:
+
+1. In MCC, we can set up the input method in localedrake, and this
+
+setting would be system-wide except GNOME about 3.6+. This should be  
+mentioned,
+
+because it would destroy the unified user experience.
+
+2. For users who want other input method, is there a easy way to do it?
+
+I must remind here: I think most developer in GNOME don't really know the
+
+pain for our CJK user here. Whether iBus or other input method all don't  
+meet
+
+the completeness that most people need. iBus continuously lost the word  
+typed,
+
+Hime/GCIN, and others more don't have easy way to add up other input  
+module, and
+
+scim/oxim... and more are even out of maintenance.
+
+The main point of issue is that we hope to have the freedom and have the  
+input method
+
+that fit each other's need( There's at least 10+ input modules exist), and  
+the way
+
+GNOME implement the unified input method had very bad impression for us.
+
+You guys do a good job, but the decision of easily bundle up a single  
+input method
+
+is really a bad idea, because not all people want to contribute to iBus  
+project, and
+
+they already have effort on other input methods.
